So according to the latest e-mail from @NaNoWriMo the only big thing you’re missing without an ML this year is e-mail blasts. Really? Is that all we did, @KilbyBlades ? How do you even know? Tell me you know nothing about how the org you’re running (into the ground) worked

Update: Ninja Writers has dropped their sponsorship of #NaNoWriMo and emailed their members about it. Apparently they just also found out about the grooming scandal.

You know it's messed up when THE D'Angelo Wallace (@dangelno ) does a video on your "Statement" regarding AI and other controversies. youtu.be/2uP7DHdc9Tk?si=TG9m… #NaNoWriMo
"criticizing AI is racism," says AI-backed writers group 😐

We're stepping down as a NaNoWriMo sponsor. Here's why:

We strongly disagree with NaNoWriMo's recent statements regarding generative AI. That's why we've decided to end our sponsorship of the organization.

Ah yeah, can't forget the leaked #NaNoWriMo "how do we extract money from people living below the poverty line" document 💀 Honestly at this point I think the whole organization needs needs to go.

When #NaNoWriMo's entire strategy was to allow a child predator to die instead of taking steps to protect young and vulnerable writers, I don't think it's worth giving them any grace. In other words, let NaNoWriMo die instead of parading around its rotten corpse for donations.

ProWritingAid sounds like a laxative for writers who are full of shit. Do it the natural way and eat Taco Bell

NaNoWriMo posted their new AI policy: nanowrimo.zendesk.com/hc/en-… Their official position seems to be that it's ableist and classist to not support AI in writing.

For the past four years it’s been my job - nay, my PLEASURE - to be the tweeter behind the @OKWildlifeDept account. This is my final post. It’s been my absolute honor to roast and ratio some of you into the ground in the name of science. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: 🧵

DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE. IF YOU’RE GOING TO SHARE A DONUT - AT LEAST ASK US IF WE WANT IT FIRST. BECAUSE WE DO. WE LOVE DONUTS. DO NOT GIVE IT TO WILDLIFE - IT IS BAD FOR THEM - AND IT ALSO MEANS LESS DONUTS FOR US. MAKE BETTER CHOICES.
